61
Q

Producers use photosynthesis to make their own food. What is photosynthesis?

A

It is a process of using energy from the sun and matter from its surroundings to produce sugars that store energy in chemical bonds

62
Q

Chorophyll

A

Green pigment that is essential for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll reflects on making plants green.

63
Q

A

Organisms that cannot produce their own food

A

Producers

67
Q

Obtain matter from eating other organisms

A

Consumers

68
Q

Producers get matter from

A

Carbon dioxide and water from their surroundings

69
Q

Cellular respiration

A

is how cells get energy. It takes in glucose and oxygen, and changes them into energy while also producing carbon dioxide and water as waste. This process happens in three steps: breaking down glucose, a cycle that helps produce energy, and using oxygen to make more energy.

70
Q

Equation for cellular respiration

A

Sugar+oxygen—carbon dioxide+water+energy

71
Q

The law of conservation

A

of matter is a scientific law stating that the amount of matter in a closed system always stays the same, although matter may change form. A scientific law is a statement, based on evidence from repeated observations, that describes an aspect of the universe that is consistent and predictable.

72
Q

There are small exceptions to the model of Earth as a closed system.

A

Some matter does leave Earth when humans send spacecraft into space. And space objects, like meteors, can bring small amounts of matter into the system. Even with these exceptions, scientists find the model of a closed system useful for understanding Earth’s ecosystems.

73
Q

The water cycle

A

is a model that describes how water molecules move among Earth’s ecosystems and the atmosphere.

74
Q

The water molecule in the soil is absorbed

A

by producers, such as aquatic plants, where it becomes part of an aquatic plant cell

75
Q

Other water molecules might be used

A

in photosynthesis to make oxygen gas and sugar molecules. A grazing manatee eats the grass, taking in the water molecule.

76
Q

Decomposers consume the manatee’s wastes and return the water molecule to the soil.

-

A

When sunlight warms the water molecule in the soil, it enters the atmosphere as water vapor, starting the cycle again.

77
Q

Global cycles of matter

A

are important to maintaining healthy ecosystems on Earth because they make different forms of matter available to living things.

78
Q

Like water molecules,

A

atoms of carbon move among the living and nonliving parts of ecosystems.

79
Q

Start with carbon dioxide molecules in producers. Follow the path of a carbon atom through different parts of Earth’s ecosystems.

A

Carbon atoms become part of different carbon-based molecules through photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and other processes.

80
Q

The carbon cycle

A

is a model that describes how carbon-based molecules move among Earth’s ecosystems and atmosphere.

81
Q

What carbon molecule is present in the breath you exhale?

A

It uses other carbon-based molecules for energy and exhales carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It uses other carbon-based molecules for energy and exhales carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

82
Q

Carbon is incorporated into living things in the ecosystem through

A

photosynthesis

83
Q

How can carbon move from fossil fuels to the atmosphere?

A

When carbon atoms are stored under layers of soil for millions of years, they may form fossil fuels, which humans use as a source of energy.

84
Q

Carbon in living things is released

A

into nonliving parts of an ecosystem through cellular respiration

85
Q

How can carbon move from a manatee to a lake?

A

This manatee eats aquatic plants and uses some of their carbon-based molecules to build its body structures. It uses other carbon-based molecules for energy and exhales carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Some carbon dioxide remains dissolved in the water and is used by the aquatic plants that are food for the manatee.

86
Q

nitrogen cycle

A

is a model that describes how nitrogen-based molecules move among Earth’s ecosystems and atmosphere.

87
Q

What percent of Earth’s atmosphere is made up of nitrogen gas?

A

78 percent

88
Q

What common molecules are made with atoms of nitrogen?

A

Farmers often plant crops like peanuts to improve nitrogen concentration in soils because these plants house those bacteria in their roots.

89
Q

What does nitrogen fixation do?

A

Earth that can convert nitrogen in the atmosphere into more complex nitrogen-based molecules. This process is called nitrogen fixation and it can happen in two different ways.

90
Q

ammonia

A

Bacteria for nitrogen cycle

91
Q

nitrifying bacteria,

A

can convert ammonia into nitrates. Most producers need nitrates to grow and form important nitrogen-based molecules in their bodies.

92
Q

How can nitrogen from organisms get back to the atmosphere?

A

When the peanut plant dies, decomposers, such as bacteria, break down the proteins in their bodies, leaving nitrogen-based molecules like nitrates and ammonia. Other bacteria, called denitrifying bacteria, convert those nitrogen-based molecules into nitrogen gas. The atom of nitrogen is again part of a molecule of nitrogen gas. It has returned to the atmosphere and completed the cycle.

93
Q
